Common Core State Standards for Mathematics
Grade 3
Measurement and Data
Solve problems involving measurement and estimation of intervals of time, liquid volumes, and masses of objects.
3.MD.A.2
Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l). Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as a beaker with a measurement scale) to represent the problem.

Measurement Standard
Benchmarks (K–2)
D.
Apply measurement techniques to measure length, weight and volume (capacity).
E.
Recognize that using different units of measurement will yield different numbers for the same measurement.
Grade Level Indicators (Grade Prekindergarten)
6.
Measure length and volume (capacity) using non-standard units of measure (e.g., how many paper clips long is a pencil, how many small containers it takes to fill one big container using sand, rice, or beans).
Grade Level Indicators (Grade Kindergarten)
3.
Measure length and volume (capacity) using uniform objects in the environment. For example, find:
a. how many paper clips long is a pencil; and
b. how many small containers it takes to fill one big container using sand, rice, beans.
Grade Level Indicators (Grade 2)
7.
Make and test predictions about measurements, using different units to measure the same length or volume.
Principles and Standards for School Mathematics
Measurement Standard
Understand measurable attributes of objects and the units, systems, and processes of measurement
Expectations (Pre-K–2)
recognize the attributes of length, volume, weight, area, and time;
understand how to measure using nonstandard and standard units;
Apply appropriate techniques, tools, and formulas to determine measurements.
Expectations (Pre-K–2)
recognize the attributes of length, volume, weight, area, and time;
understand how to measure using nonstandard and standard units;
use repetition of a single unit to measure something larger than the unit, for instance, measuring the length of a room with a single meterstick;
